JAMES WILSON, OE NEW YORK, N. Y.

SHIPS CABOOSE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 3,224, dated August 17, 1843;Antedated February 17, 1843.

To all whom, t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JAMES WILSON, of the city, county, `and State of NewYork, have invented a new and useful Improve--V ment in the Constructionof Ships Cabooses or Cooking-Stovesgiand the following is a full andexact description of it as improved by me in its several parts.

The improvement consists in securing the ireplates of ships Caboose orcooking stove from melting by the ordinary action `of the fire thelocation of which being shown in the skeleton drawing of the stove,Figure l giving the form of the union lire and bottom oven plates unitedtogether in the same manner and' for the.` same purpose as set forth andpatented by me on the 15th day of August 1837. I desire to use it inoombining its advantages in connection with the fire `proof sectionalsoapstone or fire brick guard inserted in said union plate (Figs. 3 and4) in one or more sections (Fig. 5) inserted by means of dovetailcavities to receive them firmly on a level with the cast plate, or theymay be sustained in sections by projections on the plate forming thesame plan as above described, or by any other method of securing them insections firmly in their places, without any connection or support fromthe jambs or sides of the stove, so that they can be inserted insections, at sea at any time, should they be broken or destroyed by re.

Single sectional yreplte, (Fig. 5.)-The fire part of union plateV (Fig.5) is made separate from the bottom, with one, two, or three sections orguards, the same as the fire part of union plate (Figs. 3 and 4) tosecure the same from the ravages of the fire that rests against it asseen in the part marked Fig. 5 in skeleton drawing (Fig. l) and securedin sections in the same manner as above. I use the double fan-sashshutter or damper, connected with the upright back oven plate (Figs. 6and 7 patented by me 15th August 1837 in combination to give greatereffect in heating the back of oven (Fig. 6) by passing the fire throughthe upper part of said plate for the purposes as set forth in formerpatent as connected with single, double or treble ovens as shown in(Figs. 9 and 10).

I have also made an improvement in the manner of forming the boiler soas to prevent all danger of its contents from being thrown over by therolling of the vessel. Fig. l1 is one of my improved boilers, made inthe usual form, but which may be varied in this particular. A, A, areflanches at each end which project two three or more inches inward, andeifectually attain the desired end. When theboiler has a partition as atB, to divide it intotwo parts, such partition is t-o be provided on eachside with a similar flanch.

I claim-` 1. The sectional guard of soapstone, clay or any othersubstance attached or inserted in the fire plate, single or double withone or more sections as set forth in specification.

2. I use the double dovetail shutter or damper, as set forth informerpatent in combination to give more perfect direction to the fire around`the entire surface of one or more ovens.

3. I claim the employment of projecting fianches in the upper edges ofthe boilers, formed in the manner, and for the purpose, above set forth.

JAMES WILSON.
